Short Review
- The Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime features a plastic build with dimensions of 154 x 78.7 x 9.4 mm and weighs 185g, making it relatively comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for everyday tasks but lacking in sharpness for high-definition content.
- Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and Adreno 306 GPU, it delivers adequate performance for basic applications and multitasking with 2GB of RAM.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit capable of 1080p video recording at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is sufficient for selfies.
- The 3100 mAh battery supports 10W charging, providing decent longevity for daily use, although it lacks wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.4 with MIUI 9.2, the software experience is functional but may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device also includes a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the Redmi Note Prime is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
- Its design and performance are adequate for casual users.
